The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago shows that the Biden administration's plans to dramatically raise U.S.
But only 19% of U.S. adults say it's "very" or "extremely" likely they would purchase an electric vehicle the next time they buy a car, according to the poll, and 22% say it's somewhat likely. About half -- 47% -- say it's not likely they would go electric. But new rules proposed by the U.S. Treasury Department could result in fewer electric vehicles qualifying for a full $7,500 federal tax credit later.
"I'm an internal combustion engine kind of guy," said Robert Piascik, 65, a musician who lives in Westerville, Ohio, a Columbus suburb. "I can't see myself spending a premium to buy something that I don't like as much as the lower-priced option." Biden has set a goal of 500,000 EV charging stations nationwide, and $5 billion from the 2021 infrastructure law has been set aside to install or upgrade chargers along 75,000 miles of highway from coast to coast.
James Rogers of Sacramento, California, a Democrat who voted for Biden, calls climate change an urgent problem, and he supports Biden's overall approach. Still, he does not own an EV and isn't planning to buy one, saying the price must come down and the charging infrastructure upgraded.
4 out of 10 people...r not smrt
Yeah right. Gas all the way, despite ctv's bull 💩
Ya right Turd tv
CTV you are full of it. There is no way the electric grid could even support that. And US isn’t paying the carbon tax so no way they are switching.
They love to help collapse their own dollar.
Not me!
🤣🤣🤣whenever we make own poll under your article it turns to be 85% opposite can you tell me why that is?
And soon those 4 out of 10 Americans if they live in any part of the world that gets snow .... will only use the cars in the summer and rely on gas in the winter.
But what about the carbon emissions!
Not by our own free will.
So, 133 million EVs on order? Unlikely.
Hybrid vehicle is better in a cold Country like Canada. The price of a EV is much higher in here especially after adding the hst.
6 in 10 americans say fuck ur EV
I hope they can afford them
That is NOT what the Poll said~!~!~! The Poll said only 20% WANT an EV for their next car. You Liars./
Alot of people must have a bunch of extra money.
Without the government subsidies and climate hysteria, I wonder how many people will actually buy an electric. There's so many things going against it.
These are the ones that supposedly voted for Biden right?
Baloney. 4 in 10 people cannot afford electric car nor do they want them. CTV state propaganda gets worse by the day.
And 12 out of 10 Canadians say their next car will be electric…… right? Lol
No they didn’t…
I went electric for 4 years... and then right back to petrol. The only way I would go back to electric is if I also had a gasoline car. To this day, the charging network is garbage and I refuse to add an hour and half to my trips to Ottawa 2-3 times a year.
Their lying
Wonder where all the power will come from…and how it’s going to make it to the car.
The power grids in most cities can only support a couple EV's per city block. Of course, the tax payer will foot the massive upgrades to the power grid so we can all feel good about ourselves driving an EV.
5,400 people surveyed from an existing paid survey group and an online opt in survey. Okay, sure, that should prove definitively that 150 million people are going to buy an electric car as a next purchase.
Nope
False. Propaganda
Pure lies.
CTV 4 out of 10 Americans Please . Was this POLL TAKEN IN A VERY BLUE state. forgot to add it was only 100 ppl in DEMON BLUE states. CTV you people make me SICK as a Canadian that you pump Propaganda..
I'll keep what I drive till whenever, electric not on the radar till they get cheaper and the range improves.
FakePoll too?
if a fake poll says 4 in 10, probably it's under 1 in 10
How much did the criminal thug Guilbeault & his boss pay you for that?
Not the ones we spoke to on our stay there.
Fake news
BREAKING: 5/5 Major Canadian news outlets focus more on American news than can Canadian news!
Any trouble charging your vehicle during a power outage?
Nope !!! GAS ALL THE WAY!!!!
Ha ha ha so much BS!!!
4 in 10 Californians you mean why don’t you sit down and quit doing trudeaus work for him once he’s gone you’re gone
hahahahahahahHA BULLSHIT
NOPE: Hydrogen is the wave of the future. Batteries are useless in the cold
Hybrid maybe but never fully EV. Makes zero sense in Canada.
I call BS.
They shouldnt come visit Canada with those cars in the winter, they are not made for the weather and if you lose electricity like last week, you will be with no car in a second.
2 words...grid crash
This is how Trudo works. Trudeau funnels money to ukraine and other foundations. From the canadian taxpayer. And in return. They send money back to the Trudeau foundation in which Trudeau enriches himself and his family and friends easy as that.
Thats not at all what the poll says
lol so 6-10 say it wont
Yes, I hear they enjoyed their immobility during the most recent power outage in Quebec.
Quebec is 10 days with no power in some places after the ice storm.
Mine will be diesel … electric is the stupidest idea yet… one day we will get to it but we are not there yet to oil independence.
😂😂😂😂. I’ll take things that didn’t happen for a thousand Alex
All living in California?
Are you a Canadian or American news network?
0 in 10 CTV staffers reduce their fractions…
Americans like big vehicles, not cars made for the trans community. 🤭
Doubtful!!! The energy grid take take it now.
101% Fake manufactured lies ! DefundsocalledCTV
9 in 10 Americans have no idea electric vehicles cost 1.5x - 2.0x than a regular vehicle
BBUULL SSHHIIITT
So what is the percentage for folks living north of 49?
Because they are Ill-informed.
That's a lie, half are on food stamps.
Lol good luck with that
Delete your account.
Nonsense
Because they’re naive or hate the environment?
I doubt it
Because they believe the government will force them to.
1 in 10 is being generous you disgusting liars .
Batteries and electricity are going to get expensive.
Not by choice. Something like the vaccine
the other 6 can't even remotely afford one
Let me guess… you polled homeless and new immigrants?
6 out of 10 Americans know EV’s are not the answer. 😉
Most people are waiting for more charging stations to be built, they should be everywhere like gas stations are!
And then the state of California tells you not to plug in your car that they force you to buy. Best of luck
Then why do they make up less then 6% of new car sales?
But definitely not a Tesla.
Yet 6 in 10 say they can't afford it. Keep pushing the narrative you're paid to push. It isn't news. It's propaganda.
The Electrical grids in the US can't even handle a heatwave. What the Fck are they going to do with numerous EV's taxing it
Have they seen the power blackouts in California
Horsehockey !
Says all the Democrat Congress people surveyed
bs
Lmao, because they’re forced to! All junk
Hybrid for me.
So 6/10 have brains! Good to know!
BS News
Sell your car, buy your family bicycles!
MORE LIES AND PROPAGANDA PLEASE JUST SHUT UP!
So 6 in 10 still prefer gas…
ABSOLUTE PURE UNADULTERATED
I hope they enjoy getting geofenced into their 15 minute city.
I must be one of the other six.
To all those ICU fans out there, they are doing you a favour. Lowering down the price of gas. Plus you get to continue driving your primitive cars. Step in an EV car or test drive one lol you will never go back to ICU cars. Just say you can’t afford it and leave it at that.
Wait till they have to wait a couple hours at a charging station lol
NOT if I can't charge in my garage. Forget it.
Only three in ten Americans are productive.
There aren’t enough slaves to do the mining in the cobalt mines for 150 million Americans - try again Ctv
Why the c t v continually keep getting wrapped up in this propaganda?. Just last week you were advertising that canada's electric vehicles are going bankrupt because nobody's buying them. You just don't know how to tell the truth anymore.
There is no way this is true, just more propaganda being pushed by the elites, just slowly moving us towards the change they are going to enforce on us.
fake news
4 out of 10? Who did you ask, 10 mentally challenged children?
and 4 in 10 EV's will most likely explode into flames. Good luck!
Fake news.
Fine. But they should only be allowed to re-charge with wind or solar generated electricity. Otherwise they're just kidding themselves.
The majority - 6/10 - WILL NOT be buying an EV 🙄
Good luck with that
again, your famous poll on 1000 persons. Americans are 993 millions. so your numbers are really really wrong. do a poll here NOW Q: what do you prefer?
ALASKAN pole was it!
1. Isn’t running out and replacing items before their shelf life backwards and counter intuitive to the reduction footprint? 2. You need 120k-150k an ev before it breaks even on footprint and emissions. 3. EV Lifespan is shortening and repair costs increasing.
Hahahahahhaha, and the sea levels will rise ,Trudeau gets appointed again, and Russia is defeated. Hahahahahah
Bullshit
not me 😂
Sure while on camera. Then there's this little caveat called a budget lol. Oh ya, then reality.
Yea no
Bullshit
19% likely to buy. I’ve seen you guys twist before but this is a salty, salty pretzel. Disingenuous. So very disingenuous.
Bull 💩
Sure they did, and they also said they were trading in their ride on lawn mowers for the old fashioned push models too. Bhaahaha.
I CALL BLSHT
Somewhat likely perhaps
Lol, just You Tube some in depth EV reviews. Spoiler.. there's not a lot of good to say.
Not for me.
Plug in hybrid maybe, EV is a No for me
While that may be true, they are not affordable for most of us plebs. Once mandated, the poor and what's left of the middle class will be riding the bus.
🤣🤣 right! Bunch of virtue signaling liars.
Where would you charge your car if you went on a road trip in a remote area?
Not enough raw materials exist in the supply chain to accomplish that. 1 in 10 vehicles is a lofty goal. We won’t mention the amount of oil that will need to be consumed to process all that ore. Also, transportation only entails 16.2 % of co2 emissions so…
🐂💩
And six out of 10 say no, well that’s not bad
Are you listening to the people yet? Everyone hates you, ctv
and the poll sample size was how many people?
Lying ccksckers
So about 65% say they will not buy an electric vehicle, There I fix your headline.
Lol
BS
The system isn’t designed for it. Anything to burn Alberta
They are so toxic. Our energy grid can't handle them. They are for fools.
And that number is rising!
BS
But 60% won’t buy an EV. And this is why federal mandates are useless.
and you believe that, when was the last time there was a power shortage? The last time it was summer.
Nope
But there so bad for the environment wtf?
No.
I'm part of the 6..... no way I'm buying a purely eCar.
Right
Must have polled government workers.
